Shipman reportedly worked for Mount's Lock & Key for about five years. She was fired after the embezzlement came to light in August. That's when the owner discovered $2,590 in cash was missing from money Shipman was supposed to have deposited into the business's bank account, court documents said.

Shipman initially denied involvement in the theft. The business asked its former bookkeeper to audit the books, which revealed that money was frequently missing from deposits, documents said.

"(Shipman) then admitted to the owner that she was taking cash from the deposits because she was going through a divorce," court documents said.

The audit is ongoing, but a partial audit of 2009 and 2010 shows $27,000 is missing, documents said.

Shipman, in her interview with Kennewick police, allegedly told investigators that she estimates she took $10,000 to $12,000, but she didn't track of the exact amounts.

Man ordered held on bail on charges of attempted rape

A man was ordered held on $250,000 bail on charges he forced his way into the home of an 85-year-old woman and tried to rape her.

Gilbert Safwan Madrigal, 18, pleaded innocent to second-degree attempted rape and residential burglary with sexual motivation. The rape charge includes an aggravating allegation that the victim was vulnerable and "incapable of resistance due to advanced age."

Court documents state that the woman was in her home near Prosser on Oct. 22 when she heard a knock at the front door. She got out of her chair and used a walker to reach the door, but stopped to look out a window to see who was visiting in the late afternoon. She didn't recognize the young man and told him to go away, but he refused.

The man, later identified as Madrigal, somehow got into the house. The victim tried to protect herself with the walker, but her attacker grabbed it and proceeded to rummage through the items in the storage pack on the walker, documents said.

Prosecutors allege Madrigal then turned his attention to the woman and "began talking to her about raping her."

The attacker reportedly got sidetracked, asking the victim about money and ultimately taking $10 in cash and several containers filled with pennies, before returning to the living room to further talk about sex.

Madrigal tried to force himself upon the woman and begged her to "let him have his way with her," but she fought back as much as she could and he was unsuccessful, documents said.

He then reportedly left the house, taking her cell phone and money. She had to wait for her daughter to stop by until she could call police since she had no phone.

Madrigal was identified as the alleged attacker from a photo lineup. His family lived in the area but reportedly moved to California since his arrest.

Whitmire said in court documents that Madrigal was a suspect in two rape investigations in California, but neither case resulted in a conviction.

According to court documents, a Benton County sheriff's deputy found a car parked on a rural dirt road Saturday. The deputy thought the car was unoccupied, but once closer saw movement inside and a naked woman.

Wolfe was allegedly involved in an unlawful sex act with the woman. They were interrupted when the deputy knocked on a car window, documents said.
